Washington Wins Ninth in a Row: Box Score of the Day

CHN now features a
live scoreboard,
stats,
standings, etc..
here. Occasionally, we'll be featuring a box score of the day, with some
commentary on why the box score is interesting. It might be involve a huge
upset, a big personal effort, some odd statistical, occurrences, or other
intriguing tidbit.

Ranked in the Top
50 start the season by CHN, the Huskies came out of the gate slowly with a 2-3
record and dropped out of our weekly ranking. But in large part due to the
emergence of freshmen star Isaiah Thomas (no, not the one who destroys
franchises and lives), the Huskies have 9 in a row and have to be considered a
dangerous team in a down Pac-10. So far, their 2 league wins have come at
Washington State and vs Stanford.. not exactly ground-breaking wins, but a
victory over Cal this weekend would go along way to rebuilding their lost
respect.

The key stat below:
rebounding.. where Brockman and crew outrebounded the Cards 41-25. This led to
the extra chances that overcame Stanford's better overall offensive execution.
Thomas, with 18 last night, is now averaging over 20 ppg in his last three
games.
